Full Review - Conclusion
There is not doubt that the L1981Q has a lot going for it. There are definitely better deals out there, so keep in mind that you are paying more for a monitor that is unique. If you could care less about the way your monitor looks, or simply want a widescreen display, the L1981Q clearly is not for you. With that being said, we feel the L1981Q is different enough to warrant the slightly higher price. The touch sensitive controls are a pain to use, but such is often the case with emerging technology. Some people might also complain about the large external power adapter, but if you are creative enough, you should be able to hide it so it will not attract attention. The L1981Q really fits in at the home office or the desk of the CEO for example; somewhere where a 4:3 Aspect ratio makes sense and looks are important.
